Default Anyone with a 98 T/A?

I noticed something about my car and i wasn't sure if it is normal or not. I have a 1998 Trans AM and whenever i turn on the headlights, the daytime running lights turn off...i have seen on other T/A's driving around that their headlights and daytime running lights stay on? I dont know if i have an electrical issue or is it like this for 1998 cars?

They go off when ever the parking or head lights are turned on. If you have one that goes off then the bulb is bad. It's basically is like driving with your brakes on all the time. Its a 2 filimate bulb. So 99ws-6, You have a bad bulb.They're 4157 I believe. People but clear 3157 as well. If you search in the Stereo forum for head light wire mod you'll find some threads.

I don't know?!?! Has a new plug ever been installed? They like to rust up. I always fill the plug with die-electric grease. If not it could be a bad plug?!?
